Man I JUST bought the most expensive version of 1.0 and now it’s obsolete. Wish there been a note on the page or something saying 2.0 was coming out. Any love for recent 1.0 purchasers?

You get pdf of 2e for free.

Be advised that this game needs alot of house rules. Think of it as a skeleton that needs you to add the muscle and flesh. Played it with my group several times using the rules as written and quietly set it aside.

Is there a Printer Friendly version available? The ICRPG_CORE_2E_Digital_1.3.pdf uses a lot of black, and will kill my toner/ink. Even a version without the black border on ever page would help. The free Quickstart PDF doesn't have the black border on every page, which is basically what I want. Thanks

I purchased the soft cover version + pdf and just received my book today. The cover art if off center and the border on the front and back covers gets clipped on the outside edge. Is there somewhere to address this printing error ?

Can the ICRPG system be used to play a Comic Book Super Hero style adventure/campaign?

Jeff CMay 21, 2018 2:02 pm UTC

PURCHASER

With some considerable adjustments, yes.

Tina EMay 21, 2018 9:58 pm UTC

That's good to know. I don't suppose you could direct me to a source where I could learn more about such adjustments?

The ICRPG community on Google+ and Facebook are extremely supportive. The book's author even appears there and helps out sometimes.

Question - Characters succeed on a roll if equal or better?

Do monsters also succeed on equal or better?

Cheers

correct. as worded in the book "meet or beat. Monsters roll against pc armor, pc's roll against room target.

Does 2e have character sheets in the book or only in the pdf again?

Both places.

Your decision to update 2E so soon after 1E -- without sending us to purchase a new product just won you a loyal customer. I'm buying and supporting Runehammer products. Love the videos too.

Wait I don’t understand. I just bought the hardcover of 1e right before 2e came out. My 1e is obsolete now right, or am I missing something? Please explain.

I was bummed when I purchased INDEX CARD RPG Core in March 2018, and only to find out afterwards that 2E was in the works. I'm glad the author has provided 2E as an update for people who purchased the first edition. Kudos!

Kevin WApril 20, 2018 5:48 pm UTC

PURCHASER

Excited to see this! Print question: Have they updated DriveThruRPG so you (the author) can modify the copy in the the print on demand books when they're sold? I remember that this was a problem in the past with the print book being way behind the PDF version. I like that ICRPG is a living evolving system, but I'd like my print copy to align pretty closely to the PDF.

brandon GMay 08, 2018 1:42 pm UTC

PUBLISHER

adjust print still causes a big gap. 2E is extremely stable though, and will not change. Hardcopies are up to date with digital and will stay that way :D

I think the "ICRPG_Core_Print_n_Play_Minis_1.3.5.pdf" file is duplicated.

The final proof was submitted to the author according to his post on Google+. Should be soon.

Any further word on the POD version? I went to purchase print + pdf from my wishlist only to discover the print was no longer available. Looks like a neat core book, but I'm holding off for print versions of the Core book and Worlds.

Samuel SMarch 27, 2018 4:44 pm UTC

PURCHASER

I think that's because it's about to be replaced with the 2E core book which will be in print within the next couple of days. I'm waiting as well.

Jeff CMarch 27, 2018 7:37 pm UTC

PURCHASER

Does that mean Worlds is going to be updated as well? This game seems a bit young to be needing a second edition already. I'm losing interest rapidly.

Samuel SMarch 27, 2018 7:51 pm UTC

PURCHASER

Nope, he's said WORLDS will stay as is. I think he's said something about new Volumes of more "WORLDS" books.

2E is adding 100 pages of content for the same price though, which is pretty cool imo. (I think its 280 in all) He refined stuff and added more adventures, monsters, etc.

I can understand that feeling though. Its the danger of being a 1-man show - you can't put out content fast enough to keep the momentum going sometimes.

If you already have the 1E PDF you'll get an updated PDF for 2E for FREE though. 1E was out for a year and he learned alot since first publishing this. I think that 2E will be stable going forward just going off of his word.

" many rewrites for clarity, all tables now included in hard copy, new adventures and monsters added, class rules tweaked for better performance, learning mechanic removed, zillions of tiny details fixed or improved. 2e core is 218 pages! almost 100 pages bigger than 1e"

Jeff CMarch 28, 2018 12:28 pm UTC

Wow! Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll be waiting, then.

Wayne HApril 09, 2018 1:37 pm UTC

I’m also waiting, as I plan to order the print book and PDF of Second Edition together. The waiting is tough!

Lol! I keep checking twice a day. Hoping. I really have become enamored with this game. I've been on the various other sites for the game and played around with the Quick start. Seems exciting!

I was listening to a Podcast that referenced the RUNEHAMMER youtube channel for running D&D games like a Badass. I looked into it and found myself really enthralled by the writer and his enthusiasm for the hobby. He explained some great rules and [...]

We tend to start a lot of rpg reviews by saying the game is impressive and/or outstanding, The Index Card RPG 2nd Edition lives up to that standard and more. It’s not just a remarkable starter game. It’s not just a good generic RPG engine. It’s [...]

What jumped out at me the most is how good this RPG would be for introducing people to TTRPGs. The system is reminiscent enough of a board game that peoples minds can make the leap from playing board games to TTRPGs. Mechanics like always being in turn [...]

In my quest to find a great rules-light, but with some nice crunchy edges, and a flexible non-genre specific rules system for one-shots or short campaigns, I really wish I had found ICRPG much sooner! This is simply download, read, and go. Everything [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
